Please if you are Dutch/Belgian please leave the "correct" answers for other people from other languages, so we can all have fun! The prize for the "funny" answer is bigger anyway. Bedankt!
I'm back home in Netherlands, I definitely have to try and squeeze in Infinity War before this month is out! Otherwise, it is just full steam ahead with house stuff and keeping the @classical-radio account humming along!
Last week's idioms were pretty tricky, I didn't get any myself, and it appears no did! However, there were the funny entries that won SBD!
I'm learning Dutch. Everyone is familiar with idioms in their native language, but in an adopted language, they can quickly make you sound like an idiot! So, these are a few idioms in Dutch that I'm trying to learn, before I make an arse of myself!
Photos are my own, but the artwork is from a game called "Het Spreekwoorden Spel" that I was introduced to whilst studying Dutch!
To play this game, no Dutch is needed, I will give the literal translation in English.
Rules
- Upvote if you want, it helps me out to get the prizes done. Resteem if you want, again exposure means that maybe I can continue to increase the prizes!
- Have a go at trying to guess the meaning of each picture/idiom. You can enter BOTH a serious and a funny entry.
- Do it for each three!
- So to be clear: Each picture, a funny entry and a serious entry!
- Winner is at post payout. For the first serious correct entry (of each picture) there is a prize of 0.1 SBD. For the funniest (determined by me!) entry (for each picture) there is a 0.25 SBD prize.
- So, 6 prizes! You don't have to make an entry for each, but please make it clear so I know what is going on!
- BONUS: if you make an entry (required) and resteem (not required) then you go into a random draw for an extra 0.1 SBD. Just write resteemed in your answers so I don't have to chase everyone down!
- Resteem with NO entry doesn't give you anything! You also NEED to write that you resteemed, otherwise I can't find it a week later...

Oh wow this looks great, did you develop it oe just stumble across it?
No, this is a card game that my Dutch teacher played with us to try and help us learn! So I guess I stumbled across this, because learning a language's idioms is difficult. I constantly misunderstand them!

Don't want to be spamming but I've found a great website that pays you for "captcha solving" quite nice and they payout in bitcoin. You can maybe earn something back.
I just need you pepole to register over my referral link and I'll let you know if they do really pay out by making a post about it.
